Drop Element tool - element specific

I would like to promote a SMART DROP tool for MS.  The current tool is limited, where the user has to turn On items they want to drop ie DROP Lines/Shapes

If you hover over any elements, MS will tell you what it is.  

In AECOsim, if you use the modify tool and select an element it opens the modify dialog for that element ie Modify Wall.  

Thus, it must be possible for the DROP tool to drop the element without having to set anything.

Select a CELL it drops the cell.

Select a Shape it drops the shape

Select a Multi-line it drops the ML

etc.

The idea is to NOT set anything, simply use the element type.
